[English]

Oh...

Lose control of my heart and soul (met you)

Lose control of my heart and soul (Magic)

With nameless emotions

My mind is full for 24 hours

No matter what I'm doing

Repeating failures, it’s not like me

Every time our gazes meet

Both my heartbeat and time stop

Before I know it, it's just the two of us in our world

It's almost unbelievable

Lost in a passionate frenzy

When I'm with you

I’m drawn into eternity

Dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy (TWICE!)

It's just like magic

My heart sways unpredictably

Sparkling, sparkling, sparkling, sparkling (TWICE!)

It's sweet magic

Your eyes, your smile, your hand, words

I’m always seeking only you

Fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting

Look, look, look, look, alright

...

(Lost my control)

I hope this magic reaches you too

Look, you must feel the same way

Ignoring me is unfair

You must remember, surely

The feeling when our eyes met

It’s not a misunderstanding

If there’s a moment of destiny

This excitement must be it

If I’m drawn to being guided

It’s so electrifying

A heart-stirring emotion

When I'm with you

I’m drawn into eternity

Dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy (TWICE!)

It's just like magic

My heart sways unpredictably

Sparkling, sparkling, sparkling, sparkling (TWICE!)

It's sweet magic

Your eyes, your smile, your hand, words

I’m always seeking only you

Fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting

Look, look, look, look, alright

Lost control, all my heart and soul (magic)

Lost control, all my heart and soul

Every time our gazes meet

Both my heartbeat and time stop

Before I know it, it's just the two of us in our world

It's almost unbelievable

Lost in a passionate frenzy (magic)

...

Ah...

I’m drawn into eternity

Dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dizzy (TWICE!)

It's just like magic

My heart sways unpredictably

Sparkling, sparkling, sparkling, sparkling (TWICE!)

It's sweet magic

Your eyes, your smile, your hand, words

I’m always seeking only you

Fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting, fidgeting

Look, look, look, look, alright

Lose control of my heart and soul (All my heart and soul)

(Magic)

Lose control of my heart and soul (Magic)

...

Oh...

Lose control of my heart and soul (君に出会って)

Lose control of my heart and soul (Magic)
